The roster is already constructed to basically turnover this offseason and next with how the contracts are. I wouldn't mind them getting anything they can for older guys these next two seasons, but they definitely aren't going to make the playoffs and I think a "blow up" will just happen naturally by not re-signing expiring deals these next two offseasons (or I hope). If I were to play armchair GM.... this offseason let Kane, Fischer, Petry and Motte walk. Bring over ASP, bring over/call up MBN and/or Danielson. Throw a bunch of money at Mikko Rantanen. Look to sign someone like Dante Fabbro as ASP insurance if he needs to go to the AHL to get used to ice size. Trade Lyon before the deadline this year and then call up Cossa in the offseason. Next offseason after that, let Tarasenko, Veleno, Chiarot, Holl and Gustaffson walk elsewhere. Sign Edvinsson to a long term deal. Hopefully Mazur, Wallinder and maybe Buium are ready for a taste of the NHL. Maybe this upcoming draft we get a really good player that could be in the mix. Pray one of Karpizov, Connor, Necas, Eichel, or Kempe hits free agency especially if we don't sign Mikko Rantanen last offseason. Sign a defender or two to ~2 year deals, hopefully with a more emphasis on playing defense. Make Cossa the starter.

He took 11 shots that game, kid knew he was the best player on the ice and played like it! Max showing off his slick passing

I like it a lot

Lets go I love it, always liked Todd as a coach and hopefully they can get a good run of seasons from him.

Saw some random tweet say Wallinder called up but the account seems suspect

I wouldn't touch Klingberg with a ten foot pole at this point in his career. His old agent should be banned from being an agent after having him turn down that long term contract.

Lane Hutson...not very good at defense! Bad giveaway leads to a Wings' lead!

They really should have just let Eichel do what he wanted in regards to rehabbing his neck injury, they handled all of that awfully from what I can recall.

The thumbnail looks like how I envision Matt Stafford is going to look after he retires

I fear for who they will get to run the desk during intermissions!

Bad ownership and bad luck would be my guess? They keep hiring bad GM's and bad coaches, they haven't "hit" on a pick outside of the first round since 2020 (2nd rounder RW with 103 points in 191 games) and there isn't much in their later rounds going further back honestly. Outside of Dahlin I'd say their first round picks have been middle of the road at best too, though I haven't watched Power much. I have no idea if their prospect pool is stacked but they haven't gotten much NHL production from their drafts in a while. At least the Wings have Seider and Raymond I guess, I would take them over the Sabres 1st rounders in the same timeframe. I certainly wouldn't have hired Lindy Ruff as coach too.

I ended up missing the end because of work but they hold on to win 6-4!

wow patrick kane woke up, nice shot

Jeff Petry just took such an awful angle on this tying goal, sad I could see it happening way before the guy walked by him.

When it is the national broadcast I legitimately listen to music during the games and don't listen to the commentary, it usually just makes me mad!

Shocked that the Flyers have only mustered 9 shots on net with Edvinsson out, it has largely been Seider and the misfit veterans this game

Flyers let the Wings get a 3 on zero rush, not sure I've seen that one in a while lol. Veleno buried it from Fischer on that play to make it 4-2. DeBrincat from Kane made it 2-1 before Philly tied it. Then Rasmussen scored off a faceoff win by Compher to make it 3-2. Wings have twice as many shots as the Flyers, 18-9 with a minute left in the second

Now Edvinsson is out for the rest of the game with an upper body injury, not good

1-1 after 1 against Philly. Turnover by Edvinsson gave them a breakaway to start the game to go down 1-0 early. Compher power play goal tied it up. Wings outshot the Flyers in the first at least.

3 guys playing solid minutes in the AHL at age 22, a 4th round pick goalie posting solid ECHL numbers at 22, and 1 guy used to help trade to get DeBrincat... seems fine to me. Even Niederbach looks like he could double his point total from his previous SHL season which was his first full time season so he could be something though not likely.

Wow that almost didn't look real, thanks for sharing that

It's insane to me that anyone would jump off this bandwagon after all the years of absolutely awful squads, this team is so fun no matter what.

He has 9 points more than the next highest scorer on his team
